Is it difficult to install 6.5" speakers in the front doors?

[subachad]

Well dont you need an amp for those 6 inchers? or does that only involve subs? cuz ive thought about going out buying some 6 inchers my self for my 08 sedan.

They will work off your factory deck, they are not exactly high end. I have a Clarion in my car with hands free bluetooth for my phone. Great price for a lot of features. Heres the link to my install. I actually just moved my mic from the corner to come out from the dome light last night.

I have an '09 and I was wondering if there was any interference between the door panel and the front of the speaker? This definitely looks like something I'm going to do. Thanks.

I was just talking to a kicker guy about this 2 days ago. Unfortunately he wasn't familiar enough with the aveo's to have an answer. Has anyone gone with a deeper 6.5'' speaker and modified the door panel to mount it?

the deeper the speaker the more of a spacer you will need.. or you will need a custom mounting bracket

I was talking about taking out the normal speaker cover that is built into the door panel, not the mount for the door itself and putting a speaker there. You would see the speaker sure, but It would allow a deeper speaker to be put in.

I will look at it here in a minute and see if it's all solid of if that cover comes out of the door panel.

This is the piece I was talking about, Unfortunately it is a part of the door panel, and not screwed into place.

Has anyone tried cutting this out to make a custom speaker mount that fills in the gap or attaches to the door panel itself?

the speaker grill your talking about it made into the fender and will not just "pop" out if you wanted to do something like that you would have to prolly fiberglass over it and make it a solid piece to mount your speaker into

[daug1502]

Right, so no one else on here has done it yet? figures, now I just need some money, and a really good fiberglass guy. . .

I know this is an old thread, but what diameter are the stock speaker screws? Need to get some longer screws in advance of the project.

just take one out and go to your local hardware store or call up a GM dealer and ask..

[geoffny25]

Point is to know the diameter before taking the screw out...
